"Are your kids excited for their elf to come back this year? kids love the Elf on the Shelf and want to touch and play with him, but as we all know, if he is touched he will use his magic. Help keep the magic alive and your kids happy by making this cute Elf on the Shelf Paper Bag Puppet that they can play with to their heart's content. Paper Bag Puppets are some of my favorite crafts. A stack of paper bags is very inexpensive and then you have what you need for so many puppets! I love seeing all the stories my kids invent. "
